Sourced from Hawke’s Bay, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions, this Pinot Gris showcases the area’s ability to produce expressive, fruit-driven white wines. The maritime climate and free-draining soils contribute to the wine’s ripe aromatics and textural richness. At 14.5% ABV, it sits comfortably in the medium-bodied range with enough structure to pair beautifully with food.
Nose: Appealing aromas of ripe pear, peach, rose water and ginger spice dominate, with subtle honeysuckle notes adding floral lift.
Palate: Lush and full-bodied with flavours of stone fruit, pear and a touch of citrus, balanced by moderate sweetness and gentle acidity. The silky texture carries the fruit through the mid-palate with ease.
Finish: A touch of ginger spice lingers, adding complexity and length to the ripe fruit core.
Pair with Thai green curry, roasted pork belly with apple, or mild spiced dishes that echo the wine’s natural sweetness and aromatic profile.
Serve chilled between 10-12 degrees Celsius in a standard white wine glass to highlight the floral aromatics and fruit intensity.
A versatile choice for casual dinners, weekend gatherings, or as a thoughtful gift for those who enjoy approachable, fruit-expressive New Zealand whites.
